Got in at 1230 at night and faced an automated check in system that displayed my check in details on a printed paper attached to the machine........ Not safe anyone could have posed as me. This might be funny to some but I've never seen a vending machine sell frozen meals lol. The breakfast menu wasn't available until 7am which I thought was odd. The room was ok although it was annoying that the fairly descent sized window didn't have a curtain and the room was located near a lot of night light that lit the room making it hard to sleep and there was no shower curtain so the whole bathroom and toilet was very wet. The bed was comfy though and the sheets were crisp and pressed which felt good after a tiresome day.

Room was small and basic but the bed was comfortable enough. It's designed for three (double bed with a single bunk above it) but don't know how three people plus luggage could fit, it's pretty tight. Room was clean. It's a "wet" bathroom but I've experienced them previously in south-east Asia so it didn't bother me particularly.

Had a problem with the automated check in (I arrived around 11.45pm) but the after hours manager was quick to respond to the intercom and helped me out.

Unfortunately the hotel is located directly under a major overpass so unless you have ear plugs you're unlikely to get any sleep, it's noisy. The room doesn't appear to have been soundproofed at all, this hasn't been an issue at other Formule 1's I've stayed in before close to airports. If I needed a hotel close to the airport again I'd probably look elsewhere.

This place is relatively cheap but you get little for the money. Very small rooms with clean but basic facilities. If you can stretch to a slightly more upmarket chain you will likely get better value.
The staff I dealt with were fine - friendly and efficient.

I have been to several formule 1 and ibis hotels all over the world. Formule 1 Brisbane is, certainly, the worst of all.
It is dirty to start off. DIRTY. My room was stinking I suppose of beer someone dropped to the floor and it wasn't simply cleaned.
The bathroom is a nightmare, it gets completely flooded when used.
The TV had only one channel, even with the remote control it was impossible to change the TV channel. Unbelievable.
The staff is unfriendly and its location close to the airport should not justify your stay there.
However, it was one of the most expensive F-1 I ever stayed.
